4/5	"This is a resolutely tough-minded, beautifully crafted film so compelling as to make bearable watching the nearly unbearable." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 25, 2008	Blind Mountain (2008)	77%
3/5	"The film benefits from solid performances by its four stars, but it is overly didactic and drawn-out as its comic tone grows darker and darker." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 18, 2008	Lost in Beijing (2008)	47%
3.5/5	"*Whereas Umbrellas of Cherbourg* has become timeless in its depiction of romance, Love Songs strikes a strongly contemporary note in its calm acceptance of the fluidity of desire and emotion.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Apr 4, 2008	Love Songs (2008)	66%
4/5	"The plot may be murky, but actress Asia Argento is a clear and commanding force throughout." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 28, 2008	Boarding Gate (2007)	26%
4/5	"After more than 50 years of idiosyncratic filmmaking, Rivette, who turns 80 on Saturday, is as intense and rigorous an artist as ever." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 29, 2008	The Duchess of Langeais (2008)	67%
	"*Pal Sandor's sentimental comedy Noah's Ark* doesn't travel quite so well.*" -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Feb 8, 2008	Noah's Ark (2007)	n/a
4/5	"Krisztina Goda's film could just as easily have been made in Hollywood and set in Manhattan -- and with luck, it will connect with moviegoers in the same way as quality films made here at home." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 8, 2008	Just Sex and Nothing Else (2005)	n/a
4/5	"A sophisticated cautionary tale on the dangers of placing more importance on art than life." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 8, 2008	Men in the Nude (2006)	n/a
	"Remains one of cinema's glorious enigmas, endlessly compelling and intriguing." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 1, 2008	Last Year at Marienbad (1961)	93%
4/5	"Santouri the Music Man, a harrowing account of a greatly gifted artist's slide into heroin addiction, is another sweeping yet incisive film from Dariush Mehrjui, one of Iran's most accomplished and courageous filmmakers for four decades." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jan 25, 2008	Santouri (2007)	n/a
3/5	"It's arty, murkily plotted and derivative of too many other movies." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jan 25, 2008	Undoing (2007)	33%
3.5/5	"A straightforward documentary on the assassination of President Kennedy." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 7, 2007	Oswald's Ghost (2007)	74%
4/5	"Made with wit and humor, this French stunner abounds in the go-for-broke spirit of a first film made by a talented, nervy director." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 30, 2007	Diva (1981)	95%
4.5/5	"Expertly constructed and beautifully photographed, Badland easily sustains its 160-minute running time, and the portrayals of Draven, a British actor, and 9-year-old Fulton can stand alongside the year's best." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 30, 2007	Badland (2007)	20%
3/5	"The delightful, sometimes humorous yet thoughtful result of [Gabel's and Hahn's] efforts is Anthem, in which they talk to nearly 30 people, some famous, some obscure, to find out what�s on their minds." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Sep 24, 2007	Anthem (1997)	80%
2.5/5	"Ruiz is terrific in evoking a heady atmosphere of ornate fin de siecle decadence, and Malkovich is ideally cast as a coolly intellectual, free-thinking, free-living aesthete..." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 31, 2007	Klimt (2006)	29%
4/5	"The writer-director brilliantly juxtaposes the personal and the political, bookending a stirring coming-of-age drama with the provocative opening and an equally affecting end sequence." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 2, 2007	This Is England (2007)	93%
4/5	"What sets it apart is all that's so effectively left unsaid." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jul 26, 2007	One to Another (2007)	47%
3.5/5	"Audacious and impressive, but challenging work, requiring steadfast concentration." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jul 19, 2007	Ten Canoes (2007)	98%
5/5	"Noriko's Dinner Table embraces [suicidal] tendencies with gusto and striking originality. The film is a boldly fragmented and tantalizing saga." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jul 5, 2007	Noriko's Dinner Table (2007)	60%
	"Bamako is an attack on globalization that is endlessly cogent, confrontational -- and, best of all, as captivating as it is illuminating." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jun 1, 2007	Bamako (2006)	84%
4.5/5	"Poison Friends is at once a sly satire on the pretensions and aspirations of academia and an intellectual suspense-thriller that builds and builds but never loses credibility." -- Los Angeles Times Posted May 24, 2007	Poison Friends (2007)	88%
4.5/5	"Private Fears in Public Places, a masterpiece by any measure, is fresh, immediate and contemporary, but its wintry yet warm perspective is suffused with the wisdom and experience of a great filmmaker who turns 85 on June 2." -- Los Angeles Times Posted May 4, 2007	Private Fears in Public Places (2007)	79%
3.5/5	"*The actors are well cast and effective. As a film, Sing Now, shot on location, is as attractive as its cast." -- Los Angeles Times* Posted Apr 27, 2007	Sing Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace (2007)	25%
4/5	"The film is sustained effortlessly by the charismatic Watling and Tosar, who are among Spain's most popular movie stars." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 12, 2007	Unconscious (2007)	85%
4.5/5	"A spellbinding, intelligent thriller that takes its time to get where it's going but is well worth the trip." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 12, 2007	Red Road (2007)	89%
3/5	"[Director] Brisseau calculatedly offsets the silliness of the surreal elements and the earnestness applied to the sex by savoring the overall absurdity." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 12, 2007	Exterminating Angels (2007)	47%
3/5	"... a solid first film ..." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Apr 9, 2007	Fighting Words (2003)	n/a
4.5/5	"Everything here is top-notch -- on-the-money ensemble cast, apt locations, Alice Brooks' gleaming camerawork, Joe Kraemer's intense score and Kalman Alexander's razor-sharp editing. It's a class act financed on a shoestring." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 29, 2007	Ten 'til Noon (2005)	70%
5/5	"An illuminating glimpse into some of the more challenging complications that contemporary relationships can present." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 29, 2007	Race You to the Bottom (2007)	50%
2/5	"Its premise is promisingly daffy but would require a Mel Brooks to pull it off." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 23, 2007	Idol (2006)	n/a
5/5	"An example of sophisticated, impassioned filmmaking involving mainly people who lived through the harrowing experiences so unsparingly depicted, Journey From the Fall powerfully illustrates the refugee/immigrant experience." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 23, 2007	Journey From The Fall (2007)	92%
4.5/5	"Jodorowsky loves to confront the viewer with endless brutality and grotesque decadence and degradation, but here he expresses it with a rich, densely visual imagination." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 16, 2007	The Holy Mountain (1973)	82%
1.5/5	"A dreary, protracted exercise in sadomasochism." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 16, 2007	El Topo (1970)	74%
3/5	"A mishmash of religious and Freudian symbolism amid torrential bloodshed topped with Fellini flourishes." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 16, 2007	Santa Sangre (1990)	74%
4/5	"It's easy -- and best -- to yield to [director] Menkes' powerfully seductive vision, which invites viewers to make intuitive connections." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 8, 2007	Phantom Love (2007)	n/a
5/5	"[Director] Sasanatieng engages the viewer's emotions fully in the squaring away of the eternal triangle, involving young people who emerge as three-dimensional individuals even though they are archetypal." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 1, 2007	Tears of the Black Tiger (2000)	76%
4/5	"There's no lack of tear-jerking and melodramatic developments, but they are sustained by [director] Moghadam's steadfast belief in the mutually supportive value of community life, so endangered in rapidly changing, increasingly impersonal cities." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 15, 2007	Cafe Setareh (2007)	n/a
No Rating	Click here to read article -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 10, 2007	Sione's Wedding (2006)	n/a
4/5	"Samoan Wedding is a rowdy, bawdy New Zealand comedy that perceptively depicts the universal with the particular in an amusing, affectionate way." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Feb 8, 2007	Samoan Wedding ()	n/a
No Rating	Click here to read article -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 30, 2006	The Tiger and the Snow (2006)	17%
	"Shameless, utterly predictable and grimly unfunny nonsense." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 29, 2006	The Tiger and the Snow (2006)	17%
4/5	"A period spectacle, steeped in awesome splendor and lethal palace intrigue, it climaxes in a stupendous battle scene and epic tragedy." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 21, 2006	Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)	65%
	"Eating Out 2 is sweet-natured, but like the first edition, lame and way too talky." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 8, 2006	Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds (2006)	43%
4/5	"...A slyly observed slice of Americana." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Dec 8, 2006	Screen Door Jesus (2005)	82%
3/5	"Though not as coherent as it might be, 3 Needles, with its stunning cinematography by Thomas M. Harting, is never less than engaging and suggests powerfully the myriad reasons why AIDS, after a quarter of a century, remains so difficult to combat." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 30, 2006	3 Needles (2006)	35%
4/5	"Opal Dream is an exceptional family film, arriving just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 21, 2006	Opal Dream (2006)	69%
4.5/5	"[Director] Hern�ndez's approach makes all the difference, trusting the camera to reveal the ebb and flow of emotions that sweep over all three men." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 21, 2006	Broken Sky (2006)	43%
2/5	"Lies & Alibis isn't as jaunty as its title and dilutes a serviceable premise for a mild diversion that just lapses into confusion." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 16, 2006	Lies And Alibis (2006)	57%
4/5	"... compelling and provocative ..." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 16, 2006	Forgiving Dr. Mengele (2006)	90%
